I saw an "eight-way" translation of the New Testament yesterday in a book store. Each open double-page had the corresponding portions of eight different translations, ranging from the King James and Douay versions to the Jerusalem and New English versions. A useful format (they even included some of the translation footnotes from the assorted versions), and an eye- opener for those who think the meaning of the ancient manuscripts is obvious.

Steve brings up a good point. I would add that none of the versions takes a N'tzarim rather than a Christian perspective and are all therefore still products of Christian antinomian and antisemitic redaction, etc.
